Brittany K. Ward on 01 Dec 13Terminating an employee is not thought to include the IT department. However, this article points out the relevance the IT department has in the process. The HRIS is efficient for the HR department to collect data on all employees. And the IT department is responsible for taking the employee off the HRIS and stop data collection. They are also responsible for ceasing access from the terminated employee to any company related information. The author suggests that the company dismiss any online access to the employee to prevent theft, hacking or any other harm to the company. The IT department must also make sure the employees private information stored in the system must be preserved. If not taken care of considerately, there is a possibility for a legal issue to arise. This is why the IT department, amongst the HR department and executive staff, should be included in the termination of employees.
